New must have app for parents: FBI's Child ID App

MESA COUNTY, Colo - These days we keep just about everything in our phones. From social media, the latest news to games, you name it; all of that information is right at our finger tips.

Why not information that can help keep your kids safe?

Thousands of children go missing every year and the FBI has developed an app to help parents keep their kids safe.

The FBI's Child ID app is free and provides a convenient place to electronically store photos and vital information about your children so that it’s all at hand if you need it.

You can show the pictures and provide physical identifiers like height and weight to security or police officers on the spot. Using a special tab on the app, you can also quickly and easily e-mail the information to authorities with just a few clicks.

Simply download the free FBI mobile application from the App Store on iTunes, add the latest photos of your child, enter key information about him or her, and update it regularly.

No information about you or your child will be collected or stored by the FBI or iTunes.
